The MCT-201 is a miniature pendant UHF transmitter, designed
for use in advanced, high-security alarm and remote control
systems. When enclosed in a waterproof case, this transmitter's
reference designation is MCT-201WP. Transmission is activated
by depressing the recessed pushbutton at the center of the unit.
When activated, each transmitter sends out a 24-bit ID code and
an alarm code, identifiable by compatible wireless receivers of
the MCR family. Each transmitter's code is randomly selected in
the factory from 16 million possible combinations. The code is
therefore unique and virtually impossible to reproduce.
Operating power is obtained from an internal 12-volt alkaline
battery. An LED lights during transmission, indicating the battery
voltage condition (it lights provided that the battery voltage
exceeds 8 VDC). If the LED does not light during transmission,
the battery must be replaced immediately.
In addition, a transmitter with such a low battery will automatically
send a low battery code with each transmission.

The MCT-201WP is a waterproof version of the MCT-201
transmitter. Waterproof units are shipped fully assembled but not
closed, to permit insertion of the battery before final sealing. The
case is made waterproof when its two halves are assembled and
secured together with 4 screws.
To prepare the unit for use, separate the two halves of the case
and lay the unit down on its back as shown in Figure 3.
Insert the cylindrical 12 V battery between the battery clips.
Observe polarity!
Reassemble the two halves of the case and lay the unit face
